She was protecting employees from harm. Illegally interfering with protected concerted activity hurts the company, and an employee doing so is likely to get fired quite legitimately.

(Furthermore, the laws about protected concerted activity specifically permit you to do your activism at work, not just on your own time.)

The homepage of a law firm was harming employees requiring a security/privacy tool to be hijacked to have pro-union activism messaging?

Jeez, politics really does make people go funny in the head. As long as it's "their guy" everything is on the table to sidestep logic.
